Tale Of Sarna The Shield Warrior First United Army

Atlanta - Savannah

One week after, Fort Morgan Jackson could hear
the mortars firing on Atlanta. Major how close to
firing within the city are we? Sir as soon as we
move up our larger mortars. Say tomorrow afternoon. We should be firing within the city,
General how long they'll let us do that. We must
wait and see. I'm surprised they haven't counter
batteried us. Major keep moving cannon and mortar forward, and the support troops.

Major we must not loose any position! I want Atlanta to fall, in thirty days or less! I want the
city back, we don't surround and bypass her!
We fire on the city non-stop, keep a rotation
some guns may stop. To cool and allow rest for
the crew. Pound the city Major they'll leave or die.
That's all Major. Yes Sir we'll fire till we have nothing to fire. Jackson sat looking over his map.
Is this some kind of ploy? We've moved forward
far faster than I thought. The Major is right, no
counter battery nothing not even an infantry attack. I've thirteen inch mortars twenty on the
way should be placed by morning next.

Maybe I've mistaken the enemies strength, I need
some scouting done. Maybe I have slacked off,
that dressing down my command loss. Maybe I've
been a fool. I'll get with the Rangers get some scouting done.

Atlanta Proper Warehouse, Resistance meeting.

Ghost, we made one mistake killing that Mason.
What if this is just a diversion? Not the real thing!
Maybe we aren't the objective. A few yes I agree rang out. No this is the real thing, they've been pounding us for near a week. I know for a fact,
they can't fire back. The Republic artillery is to
far back from the city. Now is the time to start
attacking those guns. Put them out of action!
Before they get into range of The Republic guns.
The new Army Commander is on his way back.
We must do this now! Before he arrives.
Have I been wrong? Mason had to die, even if he
killed the General. He was a spy, how could we
trust him?

How can we trust you? Who is this man? Ghost he
is the most trust worthy man I know. He meets the
Ranger at the designated point for us. I am Tom I ask again, why should we trust you? You cover your face. We really don't know who you are,
tell us why you betrayed your own?

They aren't my own, fool I'm no better off than any
of you. I'm asked to kill, why because the Chosen
want America back. I'll gain nothing from this.
I'll still be a soldier for the Republic, part of the Food Chain is all I'll be, you'll be nothing more
after. I must help! We are all doomed to be dust
nothing but workers. To do for The Chosen The Republic. Now my face covered is only to protect
me and you from being found out. Attack the Artillery tonight, before they move them into
range. Its arranged to be done.

Tom looked at him, this goes wrong, we are found out. To many die, I'll find you. We'll find you and
finish you like that Spy Mason! Ghost laughed
I'm worried, meet me at Buckhead we'll split up and attack Buckhead and Decatur. That is where
the Artillery is. We must put the guns out of action.
Ten tonight attack by midnight.

Jackson's Head Quarters

Captain Roger Ranger Command, General you wanted to see me? Have a seat Captain, I'd like
a scouting mission around Atlanta. I want to know
least have a good idea troop size exactly where the
line is. Where the Artillery is how much they have.

Sir we have a good idea on most of those, we've reported it. Numerous times to you and the Old
Commander here. Nothing was ever said or done
about it. I'd like the older reports please, plus new by tomorrow morning. The old you shall have now, tossing the small saddle bag on the desk.
New in two days at best. Now I've got better things
than to give information that has been disregarded
for months! Good day General!

Roger's has Sarna been informed of these reports
you sent out? Yes we've gotten replies from them.
The pens gets the same reports. She probably knows more on the lines, than you do General!
Thank you Captain. About time you chose to read
those. Good day! Captain, how old are these reports? I've said good day twice, I've no time to
waste. One day at best along with older ones, now good day.  I'll tolerate that only because he maybe
correct. Well lets see most recent report.
